In His Time**

We all wait for the Lord in His time,
not in the moments that are yours or mine,
we cannot predict those that are divine,
for what moment is there that we can define?

If we could choose one time over another,
which ones would we hold above its brother,
choosing only what seems right in our eyes,
while casting out those that we surely despise.

For as surely as the turning of the tides,
or the changing of each season's divide,
each moment has its sacred plan,
appointed by Your omnipotent hand.

Through all the counting of our days,
we must wait for Your Glory always,
never forgetting to listen and wait,
for the opening of Your Heavenly gate.
***
Psalm 52:9 "I will give You thanks forever,
because You have done it, and I will wait
on Your name, for it is good, in the presence
of Your godly ones."
